Vincent Roux was a French Expressionist artist born in Marseilles. He studied at the National School of Fine Arts in Marseilles and received the Torrents prize for painting there in 1951. He had a wild style of painting using bold colors similar to that of the Fauves and employed heavy impasto (the technique of using thick paint to create a rough texture) on many of his compositions.

In 1953, Roux entered the Academie Julian where he was mentored by Albert Gliezes and studied under Matisse and Brianchon. He was known by his friends and contemporaries as “red-headed Vincent,” and became known for his seascapes and also for his “primitive” sculptures.

Throughout his career he traveled France extensively, dividing his time between Paris, Saint Tropez and Aix-en-Provence. He also frequented Venice often and painted during his travels.

He continued to paint his Expressionistic landscapes and seascapes in an almost Fauvist style right up until his death in 1992. Today, his work is housed all over France and perhaps in your own home.
